The bridal portrait is a lasting memory for a wedding couple and their families.

Photographer Linda Taylor recently completed her first bridal portait session, but an unfortunate turn of events may have left the bride empty handed.

When the business Taylor worked for filed bankruptcy, she wasn't sure if the bride received her photos.

"I worked for Picture Me portrait studio and Sears portrait studios," she said in an email. "I worked in Hickory and worked in the Shelby Sears from time to time. I was sent to different stores when they needed extra photographers."

She has a CD with about 20 digital images from a photography session at the Sears studio in Shelby. She wants to get the pictures back to the family and contacted The Star for help.

"The company rule was that all portraits had to be paid in full before the pictures were taken," she said in the email. "I am afraid lots of people did not get their portraits. I just happened to have this (wedding pics) session and felt any bride would love to have her wedding pictures. I do not remember the family’s name at this point."

She doesn't want any money for the pictures, because the family would have paid the company already.

"I just wanted to do something nice for someone," Taylor said in her email. "I may do more weddings, we’ll see. I do like making people happy with photos and would welcome the chance to do more weddings. I really hope we can find the owner of these wedding pics. I would be so happy to give the pictures to her."

Taylor has been a photographer for several years and just finished at The New York Institute of Photography.

"They gave me excellent grades and reviews for my studio photography and for my ad type photography," she said. "I am focusing my attention on pet photography and have a company, Pet Portraits By Linda."
